David Salcedo

LYRICSTake my word for it, I'm not worth it.I ignored you all night and you don't deserve it.Morning, bathtub, my skin soft and hot.I was sure you were right, but you're not.I contemplate my ruined fate.Someone will hurt me so bad one day.And you'll resonate or I'll apologizeor maybe I'll make the same mistake twice.I hide from phonecalls under the warm water.Malice desists, no it woefully recurs.And it plays like daytime tv shows. I confuse you.And I tell you not to love me but I still kiss you when I want to.And I lament, you're innocent,but somehow the object of my discontent.And its fucked up. I let you ineven though I've seen what can happen.You make a tape.I receive it in the mailand I force myself busy.The diversion will prevail.And I will swallow all my guilt with little pills and forge my chin up.And I will only think about it in the morning, in the bathtub.

Divided Line

This song reminds me of my ex. A lot of women are like this. The moment you need them, you become unattractive to them. They resent you for loving them. I'm not complaining about it, I just wish they weren't that way. It's really too bad because our world is a lot poorer for it. As for me, I'll never love a girl who feels that way again. They really aren't worth it.

When I decided to write the following poem (last week), I thought it might be interesting to keep track on how I went about writing it so I could share it with the community. So, first the poem, and then I’ll take you behind the curtain:I think our lives make a circlethey turn ‘round tomorrow and yesterdayand we turn with them but aren’t immortalIn our days there’s all this turbulence I try to stayand contemplate in one place until still moments resonate.Sometimes I feel like I’m living a moment twiceby tempting my flaws with a sweet aperitif that can entice my destructive appetites do I have to pay this priceto grief or can I find relief& suspend disbelief so I don’t make the same mistakes twice?What if I have and give voice to these lamentsbecause I think there’s a way back to innocenceBut we are all of our flaws so what youdo is let go to subdueall this weight until all moments resonate.*Behind the Curtain:*I’ve been listening to Waxahatchee’s song “Bathtub” (linked) which I adore. In her lyrics she uses rhyme both at the beginning and the end of some lines. I wanted to try that out, which led me to this.Rhyme Scheme: My rhyme scheme differs from her song, but I decided I wanted to do something a bit more formal than what I usually do. Letters indicate rhymed words in order, a “1” after a letter indicates that word will be repeated later, a “/” indicates two planned rhymes in the same line (one internal and one at the end). I started by finding the rhyme words and plugging them into the form before I started. These changed as I wrote it. The final rhymes and the originally planned rhymes for the whole scheme are provided so you can see what changed. Final Rhymes Used Original Rhymes PlannedA circle circleB yesterday *cabernet*A immortal immortalB stay stayC1 resonate resonateD1 twice twiceE aperitif *relief*D/D entice/price entice/priceE/E grief/relief grief/*belief*E/D1 disbelief/twice *brief*/twiceF laments *lament*F innocence *innocent*G you youG subdue *to*C1 resonate resonateOrder: I did not write the lines of this in order. Instead I wrote what I could, filling it in and working and reworking the lines like a crossword puzzle. Here’s the order of the lines as I finished them.1, 2, 5, 15, 3, 4, 6, end of 8, 9, 10, 7, all of 8, end of 14, 11, 12, 13, all of 14.Draft: Once I finished the first two steps, I had a draft -- not a finished poem. I provide the draft & the finished poem below so you can see what was changed and how. In some cases I had alternate lines I was thinking of. These I provide in parenthesis before the line I *thought* I was going to use. I also provide line numbers to clarify. You can see in line 14 I had an an intermediate rhyme “unaccrue” before I changed it to “subdue”.*Rough Draft* (We live our lives in a circle)1. Did you know our lives make a circle2. but we are not immortal3. tomorrow may be yesterday but only today is today4. in our days there’s all this rushing-waste I try to stay5. and contemplate in one place until still moments resonate (I watch myself make the same mistakes twice)6. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a moment twice7. by holding onto my flaws like a sweet aperitif8. can entice a destructive appetite, and if clinging is the price9. of grief how can I find relief10. suspend disbelief and not make the same mistakes twice11. What if I have and give voice to these laments12. because I think there’s a way back to innocence13. but we are all of our flaws so what you14. have to do is let go and unaccrue15. all this weight until all moments resonate*Final*1. I think our lives make a circle2. they turn ‘round tomorrow and yesterday3. and we turn with them but aren’t immortal4. In our days there’s all this turbulence I try to stay5. and contemplate in one place until still moments resonate.6. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a moment twice7. by tempting my flaws with a sweet aperitif 8. that can entice my destructive appetites do I have to pay this price9. to grief or can I find relief10. & suspend disbelief so I don’t make the same mistakes twice?11. What if I have and give voice to these laments12. because I think there’s a way back to innocence13. But we are all of our flaws so what you14. do is let go to subdue15. all this weight until all moments resonate.Punctuation: Once I had the finished draft I used a lot of dashes, commas, and periods. After looking at it, though, it looked rather unpleasant. Messy. So for the final draft I decided to limit punctuation to the end of stanzas. Everything else is implied through capital letters and spaces within the lines where necessary. I also noticed that when I had all the punctuation in, I tended to read certain sections at a faster pace than I wanted. So by putting in the spaces I hoped to slow the reader down in some sections.Time: The first stanza took me two days to write, as did the second stanza. The third stanza was finished in a day. And it took me one more day to get the poem into the final draft and figure out the punctuation.I’d be happy to hear any questions or comments anyone might have about this -- just let me know!

The Apples in the Stereo - EnergySame melody.

ZIIA RØACH

she's an amazing lyricist.

Joseph Sanchez

I really like the scratchy/rasping effect on her voice, but I think she could use her natural voice more often, that would be nice to hear. Absolutely amazing music.

CosmicConditions

I love this song to pieces... I've made a cover of it on my channel if anybody is interested. It's always the song I go back to whenever I feel melancholic or sad.

C D Harrill

The raspy singing voice is beautiful.

Krawna

She has a beautiful natural voice. Why must she use that distorted/amp effect on the song?The only reason I can think of is she wants her fans to be unsatisfied and unfulfilled i.e. always wanting more!

Ben Leeper

Take my word for it, I'm not worth it.
